Understood.
But in the case of subs, aren't there automated warnings and such? Certainly the computers are monitoring the signals as much as the humans.
Certainly the humans shouldn't be overworked, but how does a ultra high end military vehicle (?) strike something?
- waste_monk 5y agoMy understanding is they're relying on inertial navigation and water pressure sensor (to know the current depth) - you could turn on active sonar to map the sea floor, but that kind of ruins the stealth thing, and you can't look out a window. If there's a submerged obstacle that isn't mapped, especially another sub, you won't know it's there until it's too late. Which is pretty much what happened in the HMS Vanguard and Le Triomphant collision.
